Frequently asked questions
What kind of hosting is this?
Fully managed hosting. We handle server configuration, software updates, security, backups, and performance optimization. You log in and manage your content, we handle everything under the hood.
Can I keep my current domain?
Absolutely. We’ll help you point your existing domain to our servers. No need to buy a new one.
What if I’m on a different platform?
Yes. Tell us where your site lives now and we will price the move for you. It is a one time setup fee on top of your plan, and we will quote it before you commit to anything. We bring your content over and set up redirects so you keep your search rankings.
Is there a contract?
No contracts. Monthly plans are month-to-month, cancel anytime. Annual plans save you money and can be refunded pro-rata if you cancel early.
What’s included in the page builder?
A full visual editor with drag-and-drop blocks, pre-designed section templates, advanced forms, galleries, pop-ups, responsive controls, and global design settings. Everything you need to build and customize your site, no coding required.
Can I sell books from my site?
Yes. Built-in shop features let you sell ebooks, signed copies, and merch directly to readers. You keep 90%+ of every sale. No middleman.
Do you sell my data or show ads?
Never. Your site is 100% ad-free and your data belongs to you. We make money from hosting subscriptions, not from your information.
Your readers deserve a fast, secure website.
You deserve to not worry about it.
